Welcome to Animal Rights & Rescue Group
Helping animals find love since 1995!
At Animal Rights & Rescue Group (ARRG), we are a dedicated no-kill, foster-based organisation committed to giving animals a second chance and a soft place to land.
Our compassionate foster caregivers and volunteers dedicate their time and love to every animal in our care, ensuring they receive the kindness and support they deserve.
Every donation we receive goes directly back into the animals by helping us provide medical care, shelter, and new beginnings.
We depend on the generosity of our community and ongoing fundraising efforts to continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming pets in need. Additionally, we offer temporary refuge for animals whose families are facing challenging circumstances such as domestic violence or homelessness.
Since 1995, we have successfully rescued and rehomed over 15,000 animals—each one a testament to the power of compassion and community.
Together, we can keep making a meaningful difference—one life at a time.
Connecting animals with loving families.
We provide a safe place for animals in need, from dogs and cats to small pets like rabbits and chickens. We help them heal, find loving homes, and start a new chapter with the right family.

Connie the wonder dog
Connie is now approximately 3½ years. We got her from Barbara at ARRG, in October 1998 when she was approximately 9 weeks old. We wanted any breed except a Kelpie, but alas Connie chose us. We started doing obedience when Connie was 6 months of age, at Lennox Head...
